"So you haven't seen him again in the past ten years?"

"Nope." Shi Shaosheng shook his head, "We don't know where he's gone now. Many of our younger disciples don't even know that we have a real master. ”

"What about contact?"

"Every year when we worship the patriarch, we will send in a message, and usually within three days, he will reply, but in recent years the reply has become slower and slower."

Wudong nodded lightly, and after a moment, he suddenly said hoarsely: "Do you think that the master of your sect knows that Huan Death Building is parasitic and poisonous in Kongtong?" ”

“.” The room was silent for a while, and no one answered.

After a long time, Shi Shaosheng said in a low voice: "No adult, we. . . I haven't seen him for ten years. ”

Wudong nodded, picked up his sword and said, "Then let's go." ”

Xie Guangying kept his head down, and was stunned at this time: "Where are you going?" ”

"Naturally, it's the Sword Belly Mountain." Wudong raised his eyes and glanced at him, "Go and pay a visit to your master." ”

“.” Xie Guangying couldn't help but stand up and said in a deep voice, "There is no crane inspection, we still have a lot of investigations to do." The master of the door has been pondering for ten years, and it may be at a critical juncture! ”

"What investigation do you mean?"

"Since we have taken it. Xiao Tingshu naturally had to follow the orders of inspecting Yuan Wufeng and investigating the Lotus Heart Pavilion he handled, so that it would be clear whether his person was collaborating with the enemy or not! ”

"Lord Sui has already done these things." No hole, "two quarters of an hour ago." ”

“.”

"Master Xie Feng, you may be friendly with Xiao Tingshu and anxious to clear his grievances. But the investigation is not a verdict, the evidence can be checked slowly in the future, now Xiao Tingshu is a sinner with me, I am anxious to find out his accomplices and instructions, can you understand? Wudong looked at him indifferently, "I have to go to Sword Belly Mountain immediately to know Xiao Tingshu's role in this matter." ”

He looked around at everyone: "The other peak masters, don't they agree either?" ”

No one spoke for a while, even though he was ready to cooperate with Xianrentai to picket himself, but as soon as he came up, he had to go straight to the core of Sword Belly Mountain, and inquire about the head of the sect who had been closed for ten years, which was almost the core and most important secret of the entire Kongtong.

"I agree." In the silence, Shi Shaosheng spoke again.

"Kongtong's determination to get rid of the traitors is unbending." The old peak master said softly, "Since you don't know where the mistake is, let's start from the beginning." ”

"Okay." Wudong lifted his sword and turned around first, "Then let's go." ”

——

Pei Ye followed them out of the courtyard at the end and watched them leave.

Raising his head, the cold moon was rising high and small, and the night was already thick and deep.

The boy turned his mind back to his own business.

He believed that Zhang Meiqing must have been clear about what he had just heard, so what was he thinking when he saw that sword Jiao in the middle of the night seven years ago?

Pei Ye quietly looked at the deep fog behind the cliff, that man had long known that without the support of the Lotus Heart Pavilion, the other party would not be able to kill such a thing under Kongtong, and now this sword Jiao is obviously inextricably linked to the Sword Belly Mountain. At that time, Bai Tianqu had been in retreat for three years.

It was difficult for Pei Li to guess what the man was thinking at the time, but there was indeed an undoubted clue in front of him - Zhang Meiqing recognized [Thread].

After Wudong just saw this clue, he told the boy that he had caught the trace of Huan Death Lou in the mansion, because he had a memory of the first appearance of this kind of artifact - it was from the instrument supervisor of the mansion more than ten years ago.

Zhang Meiqing didn't know this inside story back then, and the fact that the man who immersed in the instrument path saw it was - "This will definitely use a lot of heart." ”

Pei Li remembered that he firmly wrote this line on the pen.

Why does the sword flow use a lot of heart?

Pei Li remembered the incident in [Zhaoyu], that night the "living soul" was born from nothingness, and it was clear that no such material was used.

Pei Ye unconsciously rubbed the hilt of the sword in his hand. Suddenly a spirit awoke.

He looked down and saw that the Kongtong Sword in his hand was still the Kongtong Sword that had been passed down from Ji Feng, and since he held it in his hand, it had not had any abnormal reaction.

But it was at the moment when the sword fell into his eyes that the young man suddenly realized that the sword flow he saw tonight was different from the sword flow he saw back then.

Before that late night, Ji Feng had already taken the soul and the sword, and Qu Candle was already in the hut where he didn't know the location, in front of a certain high-level Kongtong. taught "White Rainbow Chapter" to "it".

- "When I fought it, it seemed like I was back in those afternoons when I practiced swords with you, Xiao Feng. ”

The strange scene described in the "Writing Paper" came to mind at this moment, and there was never a third person in the hut that night.

Just now, the image of the sword Jiao on the cliff flat longing for the soul snatching bead appeared in front of him, and Pei Ye almost stopped in place - what Zhang Meiqing encountered was a sword stream that had completed the sword practice.

That's why they need to use Heart Blossom, even if Pei Li knows very little about the way of the weapon array, at this time he has gradually realized the construction logic of this sword array - those demon swords themselves can't memorize swordsmanship, this is the ability given to them by [Heart Blossom] and [Silk Drawing].

After sorting this out, did the man choose to investigate Xinpo's origins?

As the lord of a peak, it may not be difficult for him to find out Kongtong's secret purchase of this material, but he didn't dare to follow this line to find out who promoted this purchase?

Instead, he chose to go out and go to Jin Yuzhai for a detour?

What makes him so cautious?

Pei Ye remembered the corpse at the bottom of the lake mentioned by Wudong, and did not dare to make a conclusion for a while.

But Pei Ye at least believes one thing - such a calm and keen man will never recklessly rush into danger with a secret in his arms.

Every night before, he had written down his discoveries in detail, and how could he sink to the bottom of the lake with a belly of secrets without saying goodbye when he was about to go on a long journey?

He refused to tell his wife anything about these dangerous things, so where did he leave him?

Pei Ye paced lightly, and had gradually moved away from the candle flame of the Law Enforcement Hall, when suddenly his eyes flickered, and a black-clothed and gray-haired figure in front of him broke into his field of vision, with a single sword tied around his waist.

I haven't seen him for a long time, but the old man is still so tall and dignified, and his temperament is majestic, and he is flipping through a booklet and talking to the two deacons in a low voice.

"You don't know what this expensive purchase is?" It was the familiar soft and steady voice of the old man, "Then who issued the warrant?" ”

"I didn't write it, my lord, but I must have passed through the Lotus Heart Pavilion."

"Which peak master is in charge of the money in the pavilion?"

"It's Uncle Xiao."

"Hmm." Sui Zaihua nodded slightly, rolled his eyes, and said with a light smile, "Pei Shaoxia." ”

Pei Ye immediately saluted: "Hello Lord Sui, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

"Wuhejian has gone to Sword Belly Mountain?"

Pei Ye was stunned: "Yes." ”

Sui Zaihua nodded: "After checking the Lotus Heart Pavilion here, I will also go to Yuanwu Peak - see you have a special errand?" ”

Pei Ye smiled embarrassedly, and then told the old man about his inferences and difficulties about Zhang Meiqing, and finally handed over the sword in his hand: "Lord Sui, I remember that you have some attainments in the instrument path, can you see where this sword is strange?" ”

Sui Zaihua took it and took a closer look, and Pei Ye told the sword on the side about killing Ji Feng seven years ago and destroying Yan Caiyue seven years later.

Sui Zaihua nodded lightly, for a long time, and said softly: "I've seen the formation patterns that Ling extended from those demon swords. ”

Pei Ye looked at him.

"This sword is not like them." Sui Zaihua froze his face and put the sword horizontally in front of the young man, "In this sword, there is only [Silk], and there is no set of 'Star Worm' formations. ”

“.”

"But it is also 'alive', with the same origin spirituality as those sword streams, but it doesn't have the same 'pattern' on its body, so it looks like an individual outside the race."

Pei Ye frowned and looked at the sword: "Lord Sui, I didn't see any formation lines." ”

This old longsword is indeed "clean" to ordinary, which is also the reason why the Law Enforcement Hall did not find an abnormality from above in the first place after the incident.

"It's a special hook technique." Sui Zaihua said, "Different from carving the formation pattern after the sword is formed, this handle should have been drawn in it when it was forged." ”

"Isn't that?"

"Yes, it's a magic weapon." Sui Zaihua said, "It is the use of magic tools that achieves a certain part of the function of the formation. ”

The two weapons array were so easily mixed with Pei Ye pursed his lower lip: "This refining technique."

"It's the same temperament as the Soul Snatcher Bead." Sui Zaihua stroked the sword and handed it back, "Wuhezhen said to me that you have a [fire], you can just reach into it and try to poke out its hidden formations." ”

Pei Ye was stunned, and obediently sent the fire in, which gradually spread to the entire sword body.

"Calm down." The old man said lightly.

Sure enough, a layer of subtle and hidden lines gradually emerged in the perception, and they were cast in gold and iron, which could not be detected by a keen spirit like the fire.

"Now let's portray it." Sui Zaihua asked the person next to him for the sword, which was purchased out of nowhere, "Just use this flame." ”

Pei Ye was stunned, unlike the formation patterns in his memory before, the use of the fire outline pattern was to devote himself to inspiration, because this was the stroke that affected Lingxuan.

Of course, it is ineffective to copy and engrave it on this sword so stiffly, because the formation pattern needs to fit the carrier, and as long as the material and shape of the carrier change slightly, the weight, length, and arrangement of the depiction must be adjusted accordingly, so the "underworld physical nature" before the formation master carves the formation is the most difficult ability to replace.

In other words, now you have to take an identical Kongtong sword, and Pei Ye will reproduce the formation pattern to have some effect.

But the old man just waited for him.

Pei Ye had to work hard to sketch, and he must admit that even if he just drew a scoop according to the gourd, it was an extremely difficult task to complete, but fortunately, [Flame Fire] was indeed like an arm, and he had the experience of outlining the [Treasure Raft on the Other Side] before, and after many mistakes, all the subtleties and subtleties of the [Silk] formation finally gradually appeared on this sword.

Pei Ye deeply felt that inscribed the formation pattern on the sword was really a new experience.

But sure enough, there was no [Wire] success, not only the lack of the main body, but this formation pattern did not match this foreign sword in the first place.

"Alright." Sui Zaihua looked at the blue pattern on this sword, "It's indeed [silk], and it's very well carved." ”

It seemed that it was just to confirm it like this, Pei Ye didn't ask much in front of this majesty, and only continued to say: "What is the purpose of the other party casting such a sword?" ”

"Hide the formation pattern so that this sword can be visible to people." Sui Zaihua said in a low voice, "As for the use. I don't think they're being minted to kill anyone at a particular moment or two. ”

Pei Ye frowned: "That"

"Or honey-gathering bees." Sui Zaihua stroked the long sword, "Do you know, [Thread] is just a connection, and sometimes the difference between the host and the guest is not clear. The subject can manipulate the object through the [wire], and if the object moves autonomously, the subject will also get exactly the same feedback. ”

Pei Ye was stunned for a moment, then shocked, and once again remembered the record in the writing paper - before the appearance of the "Soul Snatcher Bead", they had a more secure way to obtain swordsmanship.

It wasn't until the old man next to him closed the scroll and lifted the sword that Pei Ye suddenly came back to his senses: "Lord Sui! Either you should have this sword with you, and if you have some time to spare, you can study it again. ”

Sui Zaihua waved his hand: "You can keep it, this is something related to the Sword Belly Mountain, as a part of the formation, maybe it can be used sometime." ”

If it's important, it's important for you to keep it."

So Sui Zaihua smiled, shook his head and said, "[Heart-Cutting Glass] is on you, where are our opponents now?" ”

"Go ahead, since Zhang Meiqing is used to recording, you might as well go to the Scripture Collection Building to have a look." The old man only sighed softly, "The storm is coming, and I'm going to get busy." ”

Scripture Building.

Pei Ye was stunned for a moment, and woke up for a while. Yes, Zhang Meiqing is such a serious person, how could he only leave those messy loose manuscripts, before leaving Kongtong, he must have sorted out all the discoveries he had made in the past few days, and he must have sorted them out in more detail than him and Xu Shang.

With such a set of pen and ink, the man will definitely find a way to put it into the iron building of the Tibetan scriptures!

It can be rolled up to a large extent.

Pei Ye frowned and took two steps in the direction of the fog shadow in the distance, and suddenly stopped.

Just now, he saw a shadow of his skirt, it was Xu Sheng who came to the law enforcement hall and had gone to the small courtyard to take care of Zhang Jingbi's injuries.

Pei Ye went straight to this courtyard, and when he pushed the door, he saw that the woman was holding the young man and crying in a low voice, and the young man was pale and patted his mother's shoulder gently.

Hearing the door, Xu Sheng raised his head with tears on his face, his eyes suddenly opened, and he choked up: "Pei Shaoxia!" Thank you for saving Jing Bi's life. I don't know what to do—"

"There's something I want to ask the peak master." Pei Ye hurriedly returned the salute, "The 'blue bird' on the waist of the peak master, can you lend me a moment for a while?" ”
